Mayhem Transformers Discussion: United We Shelfwarm

[unluckiness]

Not that the CCP is a fan of it but I’d wager that all of IDW’s stories revolving around “government bad, revolution good” would be a bigger sticking point.

Also IDW being so deep in the shitter that they can barely sell enough comics to stay afloat, let alone even think of selling abroad.

And yet somehow China got a Swerve's Bar attraction at the Beijing Universal Studios.

 

[GodSentinelOmega]

Swerve’s Bar? Seriously.

 

[unluckiness]

They needed a transformers-themed restaurant and it was more recent and relevant than Maccadam’s I guess. I doubt the CCP censors were all that thorough about the background.

 

[unluckiness]

god I hate the contrast between the gray and white but it actually looks like the reasonably-sized metroplex is gonna make this year. Thought the car FOB was funny at first but seeing that wall of LEDs, that’s actually a pretty clever method of triggering the lights.

This one’s gonna need some paint but I can handle that.

 

[unluckiness]

I don't really care about the Legends geewun subhobby but I'm just posting this as an excuse to say It's Morbin' Time.

I like the simple but effective engineering and the city mode does look great with the lights on but dude looks like a goddamn model kit. This is gonna take some TLC. Might not bother with Windblade. Being completely uncolored and nontransforming sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth to paint that up.

I got Buzzworthy Bumblebee Cliffjumper and Kup at Ross today for $8 each.

I already have the OG release of Cliffjumper but he has a bunch of paint scratches on him cause of Hasbro's dumbass decision to cast him in black plastic and paint over in red.

Didn't have Kup and the BB version looks way better than the regular version so why not grab him too?

 

[unluckiness]

That's an interesting Cyclonus remold. Usually not a fan of repaints that are clearly somebody from another franchise but that ship's sailed when they made one of the 13 straight up transformer Loki. Thing's cheap, so I might just grab one.

I'd wait for reviews. I don't trust Iron Factory's tolerances.

 

[unluckiness]

This isn’t Iron Factory. It’s a new moldthat cribs the IF figure’s transformation but with differences in the molding and engineering. It’s also around voyager size.

This company's called Pangu toys and apparently have zero focus. They’ve so far made an upsized de-samurai'd Iron Factory Lio Convoy, a Legends scale Omega Supreme and the Studio Series scaled Mad Max Movie Bumblebee. They've also remolded and recolored the Lio Convoy into some kind of Gundam homage and released a two-pack of that and a pink Bumblebee with a couple mooncakes.

 

[unluckiness]

I bought a Sweep at 50% off but I’m promoting hin to Scourge. The actual Scourge’s blue isn’t nearly as nice as this.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I bought something on eBay.

*takes another sip of rum*

I look forward to remembering what it was.

[CoffeeHorse]

Third party designers really need to stop browsing Radicons for ideas.

 

[Dekafox]

Or watching Aquarion.

 

[Princess Viola]

no no let em cook

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Get 'em some G Gundam, I want a transforming windmill.

Picked up Buzzworthy Bumblebee Tow-Line for half price. Glad I didn't pay full for it, this is the floppiest Transformer I've handled in years. Not quite Titaniums bad, but kinda annoying to handle.
